ANCIENT BRONZE SPEARHEAD
Item Details
Description
Western Asiatic/Aegan, ca. 1200-700 BC.A bronze spearhead with a triangular-shaped blade, complemented by a prominent midrib. The midrib, extending prominently from the center of the blade, contributes to the overall strength and resilience of the weapon. Below the midrib, a well-defined shaft commands attention, guiding the eye towards a long and gradually tapering tang. This carefully designed tang facilitates the spearhead's secure attachment to a pole or shaft, ensuring ease of handling and stability during use. Cf. Muscarella, O. W. (1988). Bronze and Iron: Ancient Near Eastern Artifacts in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, p.290. Size: L:143mm / W:25mm ; 25g Provenance: Property of a North London gentleman; previously acquire on the UK/European art market in the 1980s.
